Honestly, hardly surprising given he has been a failure at pretty much everything else he has done in his life.

He would have had a much more successful first term had he just left things as they were and taken the credit for it. Same with the current term. But the narcissist in him cannot do that. He believes he knows better than everybody else, and the result will be his biggest failure yet. Sadly, we all have to suffer the result too.

Yup. If #pedophile #Trump hadn't been born rich & illegally given $400m he'd been a shitty used car salesman somewhere & the rest of the world would be a better place.

"Neither the U.S. military nor National Guard troops signed up to be MAGA brownshirts (...) potentially fight citizen militias"

Well, good thing for them the "citizen militias" in the US are exactly the people who *did* sign up to be MAGA brownshirts, and will definitely not be fighting to prevent the US military or National Guard troops doing dictator shit.

AI quite possibly could bring about consequences ranging from total economic collapse to the fall of civilisation to the extinction of all life, if it lived up to the claims proponents make about the capabilities of the technology.

That is one hell of a big 'if.' Maybe all the fear mongering is just trying to convince people that AI is capable of such ruin, because such a dangerous tool must surely also be powerful enough to justify the stock price?

solitamente si incentiva in italia ad acquistare qualcosa con la convenienza. quando di una cosa che si vuole incentivare ce ne sono poche solitamente l'uso della novità è molto conveniente. quando la diffusione è completa o quasi solitamente la convenienza cessa e arriva la fregatura. l'alto costo dell'energia elettrica in italia però ha creato una situazione buffa. il costo dell'energia per autotrazione è salito molto prima e quindi al momento, pur avendo già venduto qualche auto elettrica, siamo sul filo della convenienza. in pratica è conveniente o meno a seconda di come e dove riesci a ricaricare. con l'aumento della domanda di energia elettrica, per regola di mercato, la situazione non potrà che peggiorare. quindi la domanda è: in italia come si pensa di riuscire a incentivare l'elettrico?

Ok my fellow nerds, #fennec, a #Firefox version compiled for #fdroid, doesn't load websites 80% of the time, completely randomly. I searched for solutions and concluded that since nothing works it must be #android itself that nerfs the competing browser.

My question is, how dumb is using something based on WebView, actually? I installed #Fulguris and it's blazing fast, seems to be working 100% of the time. It's open.

Since I have no experience with android development, is WebView chromium in disguise or is it fine? And I opening myself to all of the Google malpractice through it? I wish I could use Fennec but it turns literally useless, when I can't even load wikipedia most of the times.

Oh, of course! #AuroraStore (which is on F-Droid) can get you the app from Play Store. But I only hope it doesn't rely on any Google Play APIs that you don't have.

The image features a dark gray background with three circular shapes, two of which are partially filled with a lighter brown color. The text is white and reads: "When the light goes out of the world, everyone ends up in a sundown town." The text is centered and spans the width of the image, with the first line at the top and the second line below it. The overall design is simple and minimalistic, with the text being the primary focus.

Threads Agrega Posts de Formato Largo de Hasta 10.000 Caracteres


Threads, la aplicación de Meta, ha lanzado oficialmente la función de posts de formato largo, permitiendo a los creadores de contenido, autores y periodistas compartir textos de hasta 10.000 caracteres, en un intento por atraer a una audiencia más amplia y competir con la función “Artículos” de X (Fuente Meta).

Threads ha lanzado una nueva función largamente esperada que permite a los usuarios agregar un «adjunto de texto» de hasta 10.000 caracteres a sus publicaciones. Meta, la compañía detrás de Threads, ha confirmado que esta función está dirigida a periodistas, autores y creadores que desean compartir contenido extenso directamente en la plataforma, eliminando la necesidad de crear largos hilos o de usar capturas de pantalla.

Al seleccionar la opción «adjunto de texto» en el compositor de posts, se abre un editor de texto que incluye opciones de formato como negritas, cursivas, subrayado y tachado. Una vez publicado, el texto largo se muestra como una vista previa que se puede expandir para leerse en una ventana de pantalla completa en dispositivos móviles o en una ventana dedicada en la web. La función, que fue inspirada por el comportamiento de los usuarios que a menudo compartían capturas de pantalla de artículos y libros, busca consolidar la posición de Threads como una plataforma más versátil.

Aunque por ahora no permite incrustar imágenes o videos dentro del texto, un portavoz de Meta ha señalado que están trabajando en más funciones de formato que se lanzarán en el futuro. Este lanzamiento, que se produce poco después de que Threads alcanzara los 400 millones de usuarios activos, es una clara señal de que Meta está invirtiendo fuertemente para hacer que la aplicación sea un destino principal para el contenido de texto de formato largo.

Mathematical #cryptography question. Suppose you wish to *store* a very large number (2**40 or more) of messages. All of these messages have the *same* relatively short length, on the order of 2**15 bits, and are to be encrypted with the same symmetric key.

In this regime, how do you size the IV and MAC for some target security level k? Still just k bits each, or does it get more interesting?

in reply to Zack Weinberg

I would look into unique key derivation per message or unique IV and MAC for each message.

Such a large number of texts being ciphered with the same key presents fodder for a fund of attacks. Key re-use is dangerous in such a scenario.

A master key is can be combined with a unique sub key or salt for each message for individual key derivation per message. The unique sub keys can be encrypted with the master key for additional security. Such keys and salts must be RNG sourced.

I read that Nate Silver "Blueskyism" essay and what stands out is that his three primary features of Blueskyism, while certainly present in some conversations here, nowhere near consistently obtain. And one of them, credentialism, seems to in fact almost never.
in reply to Aaron Ross Powell ☸️

I suspect Silver's charge of Bluesky being credentialist is less that people here flash their PhDs around, and more that Silver frequently makes arguments that aren't very good, and they're met with credulity on X, but get pushback from people with expertise here. But expertise isn't credentialism.


Nigel Farage, who uses a private company to deliberately reduce his tax bill on non-parliamentary income from 40% to 25%, says Angela Rayner mistakenly paying less tax "screams entitlement".


I had an idea and some very smart people follow me, so I want someone to tell me why this won’t work:

N body gravitational simulation is hard because of the scaling problem.

So, whenever I’ve built gravity simulation in the past, I’ve used a quadtree and only had bodies in a small search window affect one another. This is, as I understand it, a very common implementation.

But…

What if you used graph theory to establish a more coarse-grained quadtree based on local cliques? Every body could then apply the (theoretically much smaller number of) forces from all of the cliques scaled by their clique’s distance.

Does that work? Is there some obvious overhead I’m not thinking of?

I know it wouldn’t be _perfectly_ accurate… but it _feels_ like it’d be close, at least if you look at the system in aggregate?

in reply to b4ux1t3 #1️⃣

I have half formed ideas of maybe ignoring positional distance and keeping track of “classes” of objects, where objects are disproportionately affected by objects in a larger class and completely unaffected by something that’s two or three classes smaller, but that feels like it’d be a memory hog nightmare.
in reply to b4ux1t3 #1️⃣

And like, even comparing the classes of two objects in a large system would end up being really compute intensive. Even without the positional changes.
